In addition to preventing skin cancer, sunscreen or body lotion with SPF 50 or less can also delay the aging process. There are many reasons to emphasize healthy summertime behaviours, but one of the most important is that it’s predicted that 2,250 new cases of melanoma will occur in 2023.
According to estimates, the sun causes about 80% of skin aging, and being exposed to UV radiation raises your risk of getting skin cancer.
For sufficient sun protection, apply Lotus sunscreen SPF 50 over your moisturizer with an SPF of 30 or higher. You should still apply sunscreen even if your makeup has an SPF.
What is Sunscreen?
Ingredients that are both molecular and physical makeup sunscreen. This mixture shields us from the harm caused by various UV ray frequencies emanating from the Sun, including UV B rays, which burn our skin from the surface, and UV A rays, which penetrate deeply into our skin and directly harm collagen tissue, causing wrinkles and fine lines to appear on the skin.
Although the two rays’ effects overlap—both can cause burns and hasten the aging process—UVA rays are mainly responsible for fine lines and dark spots. Sunburns and skin cancer, on the other hand, are mostly caused by UVB radiation. By absorbing or reflecting UV radiation, sunscreen helps to avoid sun damage.
Who needs to apply sunscreen?
Regardless of skin tone, sunscreen should be worn by everyone outside. People should apply one ounce of sunscreen (enough to fill a shot glass!) on their complete body after applying half a teaspoon to their face and neck. We advise reapplying sunscreen every two hours, and even more frequently if you’re swimming or working out. This is because sunscreens naturally degrade over time. Don’t neglect to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside!
The need for sunscreen is greater for those who must enter the sun to travel to work and for those who must remain outside for an extended amount of time. or those who participate in outdoor sports like volleyball, football, tennis, etc. And particularly for those who swim, as chemicals added to pool water to keep it clean harm our epidermis. Such individuals need to use sunscreen to prevent their skin from getting sunburned.
For how much time a Sunscreen stay on our skin?
After administration, most sunscreens typically remain effective for 6 to 8 hours. Apply sunscreen every 5 to 6 hours if you are spending more than 6 hours outside in the weather.
Sunscreens recommended for all skin types-
- Sunscreens are available as gels for people with combination, oily skin that is prone to breakouts. The lightweight, chemical-free Lotus Organics+ Sunscreen SPF 30 PA+++ moisturizes the skin without leaving behind any greasy substance. As a result, it might be the finest sunscreen choice on sunny days. Being healthy is also appropriate for school-age children. People who spend only a brief amount of time outside in the sun, such as those who work indoors or spend most of their time indoors, should consider using SPF 30 PA+++.
- The second option is Lotus Sunscreen SPF 40 PA+++, which is recommended for individuals who spend more time outside in the sun. Which safeguards against all types of sun-related harm. It adds a tint to hide flaws while illuminating your complexion naturally. Make sure to bring an SPF 40+++ sunscreen with you when you travel to a hill station or a beach during the summer months. If you don’t apply it during the day, you run the risk of having sunburned skin.
- A mineral-based, chemical-free, non-toxic sunscreen is required for those with dry, acne-prone, or delicate skin. Sunburn, tanning, and early aging are all reduced by Lotus Sunscreen SPF 50 PA+++, which also maintains and improves skin’s brightness without leaving a greasy or heavy surface sensation.

People who play sports outside and spend a lot of the day in the sun need a specific type of sunscreen that doesn’t readily come off due to sweat and water.
How do different SPFs work?
You will be protected from approximately 96.7% of UVB energy with SPF 30 sunscreen and approximately 98% with SPF 50 sunscreen. At SPF 50 and above, the risk of skin cancer is unaffected, and no sunscreen offers 100% UVB protection.
People with sensitive skin should ensure that the moisturizers, sunscreens, face washes, and other skin care items they purchase have the label “suitable for sensitive/all skin” on them.
Sunscreen is important but still, we should do day-to-day sun protection for our skin. Such as,
1. We should cover our face with a soft, clean cotton cloth when stepping out in the sun
2. You should also try and wear a wide-brimmed hat when out in direct sunlight.
3. Wear dark glasses during day time.
4. Use an umbrella for sun protection.
These are very basic things, but very important to save your skin and face from getting sunburnt.
The sunblock you want to use frequently is the one that is best for you. You might discover that some sunscreens look more like your skin tone than others, and so on. However, Lotus Organics+ has an excellent option for you, so don’t fret.
